Release notes

25.9 - October 2025

With 25.9, you have plenty of fresh features and improvements to enjoy, including new endpoints and supported robots. Dive right in and explore!

BREAKING CHANGES

Renaming of endpoints

The endpoints under the category Motion Group Models have been renamed. Previously, they were called:

  • /api/v2/cells/{cell}/motion-group-models and
  • /api/v2/cells/{cell}/motion-group-models/{motion-group-model}/collision-model

Now they have been named, respectively:

Please be aware of these naming changes when moving forward with your projects.

What’s new?

New endpoints in store collision components

Four new endpoints will be added:

These will return an array of strings. For endpoints excluding -keys in the name, they will return a dictionary of objects.

Supported robots

These robots are now supported in Wandelbots NOVA:

  • UR12e
  • UR7e

What’s better?

App store upgrade

The NOVA App store offers an improved user experience. You can now see which of your apps have updates available and can directly update them from within the app store. After updating, all your data remains.

default_route parameter for PROFINET service no longer required

When adding a PROFINET service via API v2, the default_route parameter is no longer required.

Bug fixes

Endpoint updates

For the following endpoints, the request body has been changed from optional to required:

Update virtual controller configurations endpoint improved

For both Wandelbots NOVA API v1 and v2, the endpoint to update virtual controller configurations has been fixed. When you update the virtual controller in the backend, storage information now gets updated as expected. For v1, this is Update Virtual Controller Configuration , and for v2, this is Update Robot Controller .

Under investigation

PROFINET BUS IO data loss when updating Wandelbots NOVA

When updating Wandelbots NOVA, the PROFINET BUS IO configuration on Wandelbots NOVA will be lost.

The Wandelbots NOVA backup in the Setup app/Wandelbots NOVA API currently does not include PROFINET BUS IO service data. Therefore you need to manually save the PROFINET BUS IO configuration and reapply it after updating.

We’re actively working on a solution to include PROFINET BUS IO data in the backup process to prevent data loss during updates.

On their final mission

API v1 motion group model

The endpoint /v1/cells/{cell}/store/collision/default-link-chains/{motion-group-model} has been deprecated, so no new robots will be added to its enum list. From now on, new robots will only be added to the v2 endpoint Get Collision Model .

Technical details

Updated KUKA kop file

Version 1.5.3.0 of the custom KUKA option package is now available. Please update the custom option package file on your KUKA robot controllers to ensure compatibility with Wandelbots NOVA.

Documentation

Updated pages

New pathplanning and app development sections

To help you get started with pathplanning with Python and app development with Python and Typescript, here’s the new sections in the documentation with quickstart guides and local development instructions:

PROFINET setup with robot controller

There has been an update to the PROFINET instructions on how to avoid failing communication between the PLC and the robot controller caused by overlapping subnets and faulty IP address setup.

Wandelbots NOVA custom package files available in Developer Portal downloads

The Wandelbots NOVA custom package files for physical robots (KUKA, Yaskawa) are now available for download in the Developer Portal downloads  under Setup physical controllers.

They are no longer available in the Wandelbots NOVA documentation for security reasons.
